I love this shawl by Elde a shop based in Turkey that carries beautifully knitted wristwarmers, scarves and shawls. Everything is such a good price for handmade too, fingerless gloves start at £18, and the shawl here is £53, amazing considering all the detail and work involved.
I based the rest of this collection around the colour tones, simple dove greys and white.
Etsy is such a treasure chest of handmade and heartfelt pieces. It's a while since i shared my finds. Maybe i shall more often... if its a post you like and enjoy let me know. You can find all the links to these Etsy goodies, at my treasury here
love
Hi Kathryn! I've been following your blog for quite a while and have to thank you for being such a special person and for cramming more pastel into a blog than anyone can imagine! I especially love the quote 'I am enough' in this post. As soon as I read it it struck a chord and I wrote it on my hand as I do all things I think should focus on throughout the day. (if I leave the planet before my time it will be due to ink poisoning!) Have you heard Alanis Morrisette's song 'That I would be good' ? I think it relates to this sentiment. Anyway hope I haven't bored you and that you are well. All the best, Nadya

Nadya,
I was so touched by your comment today - thank you hun.
The ink poisoning bit made me smile :)
Yes I am enough is definitely something I think we all need written in a place we can see it.
You certainly didn't bore me. I hope to hear from you again here.
And I haven't heard the song but shall look it up soon
Take care love kat x

Dena, glad you like it too :)

Oh yes please do share your Etsy finds! Etsy is indeed a treasure trove but there can be so much material to get lost in...so it's nice when someone shares something specific or particular finds! ~Melissa

hi kat - i am so in love with that beautiful shawl - i had already spotted it this week on your "favourites at etsy" on the sidebar & fell instantly in love.... i also love that little plate - such simple, precious words that we probably don't use often enough & that ittle heart garland is just so sweet. thanks for sharing your treasures. xxx

The scarf is exquisite! I love the colour and how delicate it is! I could seriously own one of those....wonderful choice!

Fabulous finds Kat! I love Etsy and I swear I could lose an entire day (at least)just browsing from one delight to another.

Hi Kat,
I just wish I had more time to keep up up with your amazing blog and lovely Etsy finds.
I love your taste and style and talent for finding so many beautiful images and link which you put together with such creativity in your blog posts.
When I look at your pages I am inspired, however putting the inspiration into action is something I seem to be lacking on my own blog these days!
I may not comment very often, but I do look in on a regular basis and admire the work and dedication that you share with us.
Hazel xx
